The problem you are going to run into is in two places. 1. mounting, 2. HV supply.

The 16WP4a is an all glass tube, and cannot be used in the original mounting configuration. Depending on how the tube is held in (is it chassis mounted or cabinet mounted?) you can make a strap and hardware that will hold the tube in place, but its not easy, and pressure points on the tube will cause it to tail and send glass flying into you!

The other concern is the HV lead. You will need to steal one out of a newer set or a computer monitor to replace the one that clips onto the metal shell. This in itself is not difficult unless the HV rectifier socket is hard to get to.

is there any way you can get a shot of how the 16GP4 is mounted?
